If file_name is readable by others, returns an integer representing the file permission bits of file_name. Returns nil otherwise. The meaning of the bits is platform dependent; on Unix systems, see stat(2).
file_name can be an IO object.
File.world_readable?("/etc/passwd") #=> 420 m = File.world_readable?("/etc/passwd") sprintf("%o", m) #=> "644"
Returns true if the named file is writable by the real user and group id of this process. See access(3)
If file_name is writable by others, returns an integer representing the file permission bits of file_name. Returns nil otherwise. The meaning of the bits is platform dependent; on Unix systems, see stat(2).
file_name can be an IO object.
File.world_writable?("/tmp") #=> 511 m = File.world_writable?("/tmp") sprintf("%o", m) #=> "777"
Returns true if the named file is executable by the real user and group id of this process. See access(3).
Returns default external encoding.
The default external encoding is used by default for strings created from the following locations:
File data read from disk
While strings created from these locations will have this encoding, the encoding may not be valid. Be sure to check String#valid_encoding?.
File data written to disk will be transcoded to the default external encoding when written.
The default external encoding is initialized by the locale or -E option.
Sets default external encoding. You should not set Encoding::default_external in ruby code as strings created before changing the value may have a different encoding from strings created after the value was changed., instead you should use ruby -E to invoke ruby with the correct default_external.
See Encoding::default_external for information on how the default external encoding is used.
Returns default internal encoding. Strings will be transcoded to the default internal encoding in the following places if the default internal encoding is not nil:
File data read from disk
Strings returned from Readline
Strings returned from SDBM
Values from ENV
Values in ARGV including $PROGRAM_NAME
Additionally String#encode and String#encode! use the default internal encoding if no encoding is given.
The locale encoding (__ENCODING__), not default_internal, is used as the encoding of created strings.
Encoding::default_internal is initialized by the source file’s internal_encoding or -E option.
Sets default internal encoding or removes default internal encoding when passed nil. You should not set Encoding::default_internal in ruby code as strings created before changing the value may have a different encoding from strings created after the change. Instead you should use ruby -E to invoke ruby with the correct default_internal.
See Encoding::default_internal for information on how the default internal encoding is used.
Returns the locale charmap name. It returns nil if no appropriate information.
Debian GNU/Linux LANG=C Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "ANSI_X3.4-1968" LANG=ja_JP.EUC-JP Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "EUC-JP" SunOS 5 LANG=C Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "646" LANG=ja Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "eucJP"
The result is highly platform dependent. So Encoding.find(Encoding.locale_charmap) may cause an error. If you need some encoding object even for unknown locale, Encoding.find(“locale”) can be used.
Return a list of the local variable names defined where this NameError exception was raised.
Internal use only.
The BigDecimal.double_fig class method returns the number of digits a Float number is allowed to have. The result depends upon the CPU and OS in use.
Returns true if the given year is a leap year of the proleptic Gregorian calendar.
Date.gregorian_leap?(1900) #=> false Date.gregorian_leap?(2000) #=> true
Deletes all entries for which the code block returns true. Returns self.
Waits until IO is readable without blocking and returns self, or nil when times out. Returns true immediately when buffered data is available.
Waits until IO is writable without blocking and returns self or nil when times out.
Passes the Integer ordinal of each character in ios, passing the codepoint as an argument. The stream must be opened for reading or an IOError will be raised.
If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.
Deletes every key-value pair from gdbm for which block evaluates to true.
Provides marshalling support for use by the Marshal library.
Removes the named field from the object. Returns the value that the field contained if it was defined.
require "ostruct" person = OpenStruct.new(name: "John", age: 70, pension: 300) person.delete_field("age") # => 70 person # => #<OpenStruct name="John", pension=300>
Setting the value to nil will not remove the attribute:
person.pension = nil person # => #<OpenStruct name="John", pension=nil>
Iterates over each component of the path.
Pathname.new("/usr/bin/ruby").each_filename {|filename| ... }
# yields "usr", "bin", and "ruby".
Returns an Enumerator if no block was given.
enum = Pathname.new("/usr/bin/ruby").each_filename
# ... do stuff ...
enum.each { |e| ... }
# yields "usr", "bin", and "ruby".
